- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: Warwe Accommodated Fraction (WAF) - Stock solutions (S1-S4) were prepared by directly weighing 10.0, 5.00, 2.50 and 1.25 mg in 1000 mL test medium, respectively. These stock solutions were stirred in the dark for 48 h, at room temperature and let settle down for 1 h (based on OECD Series on Testing and Assessment No. 23). The solution was clear and transparent but not the entire test item went into solution, as flakes of substance were observed at the water surface in solutions S1 and S2. Additionally in stock solution S1, white crumbs were observed at the bottom of the flask. After settling no tyndall effect was observed and the necessary volumes for the test were withdrawn via a Teflon tube from the medium level of the stock solutions. The stock solutions were centrifuged at 5 000 rpm for 1 hour. After centrifugation no tyndall effect was observed. The test item loading rate V1 was made by diluting stock solution S4 to give the required test loading rate. ~ 50 mL of the prepared solutions were transferred to each test vessel

- Details on results:
- After 24 hours of exposure no immobilisation was observed in the control and at test item loading rates of 0.625 mg/L and 2.50 mg/L. No immobilisation higher than the allowed control immobilisation was observed at 1.25 mg/L and 5.00 mg/L. 60 % immobilisation was observed at the highest test item loading rate of 10.0 mg/L.
After 48 hours of exposure no immobilisation was observed in the control. No immobilisation higher than the allowed control immobilisation was observed at 0.625, 1.25, 2.50 and 5.00 mg/L. At the highest test item loading rate of 10.0 mg/L all daphnids were immobile.
After 48 hours the mobile daphnids at the test item loading rate 5.00 mg/L appeared to be sluggish. No other symptoms of toxicity were observed during the course of the study. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- The results indicate an EC50 (24 h) of the reference item potassium dichromate between 1.00 and 2.00 mg/L. Since the results are in accordance with the requirements of the OECD guideline 202 and fall within the historical data generated with the reference item at the testing facility, the daphnids were suitable for the determination of the toxicological effects of the test item.
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The values for EL50 were determined by Weibull analysis using linear max. likelihood regression. The evaluation of data was performed by ToxRat Professional 3.2.1.
The NOELR was established based on the highest loading rate at which the immobilisation is not higher than the allowed control immobilisation (≤ 10 % immobilisation). - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- According to the results of the test, the EL50 (48 h) for immobilisation was determined to be 6.83 mg/L (nominal). The corresponding NOELR (48 h) was 5.00 mg/L (nominal).
- Executive summary:
The study was conducted to determine the immobilisation effect of the test item to Daphnia magna, in accordance with OECD 202. Following a static GLP range-finding test, a static main test with nominal loading rates of 10.0, 5.00, 2.50, 1.25, 0.625 mg/L and control was performed. The test item is a complex substance (UVCB) composed of constituents with varying water solubility, therefore the test item is applied as water accommodated fraction (WAF). Temperature, pH-value and oxygen concentration of the test solutions measured after 0, 24 hours aged and 48 hours are reported. Hardness of the test medium (untreated control) was measured on the day of application. Analytical samples taken at 0 hours (initial value) and 48 hours from aged test solutions were analysed from control and all test item loading rates. The values for EL50 were determined by Weibull analysis using linear max. likelihood regression. The NOELR was established based on the highest loading rate at which the immobilisation is not higher than the allowed control immobilisation (≤ 10 % immobilisation). The total hardness (as CaCO3) of the test medium (untreated control) was determined to be 13°dH (232 mg/L CaCO3); the mean pH-value of the untreated control was determined to be 7.71 ± 0.12 (Std. Dev.), the mean temperature of the control and all test item loading rates was measured to be 19.7 ± 0.6 °C (Std. Dev.) and the mean oxygen concentration was determined to be 8.8 ± 0.2 mg/L (Std. Dev.). The initial measured content of active ingredient was between 91 and 109 % of nominal and the aged measured content was between 97 and 113 % of nominal. Since the content of active ingredient in the samples was between 80 and 120 % of nominal the toxicological endpoints were evaluated using nominal loading rates. According to the results of the test, the EL50 (48 h) was determined to be 6.83 mg/L (nominal). The corresponding NOELR (48 h) was 5.00 mg/L (nominal).
